Guild Wars 2

PowerCat.5738:

You hit the DR.

That one usually happens if you run over 4 or 5 dungeons in a 2 or 3 hours period

Ahh thanks for the answer =), so next time we just have to take a break.

Kumakichi.2583:

just be happy all 3 paths are doable by pugs

How does that relate in any way to the question I asked.

Hi,
Today we did the up-path of ta, we were 5 in the group but one was afk out of the dungeon. At the end we only recieved 45 tokens – it was the first time we did this dungeon today.
Why did we recieve only 45 and not the normal 60?

We tried several tactics we read/watched online and none worked.
Our whole group is full power/prec/crit build except our guardian so our dps is very high ( over 3.3k attack in the hero-screen ) so this shouldnt be an issue.
We tried:
1. Normal ( at least I think ) : We nuke her down to 45%-50% she goes invis and in our best cycles she only healed about 10% to 15% and we got all 5 sparks into the circles while she was invis. So we had her at about 60% and then after we nuked her ( even faster ) down to 45%-50% she went invis again, this went on for about 3 iterations – she never got above 75% but every time she was going invis at the same time.

2. Nuke her down while invis: We saw this on some vids on youtube where people just lure here into a corner and nuke her down even while she is invis. This didn’t work either, she healed the same amount while invis even if we hit her ( like I said earlier dps shouldn’t be our problem ). Our group is 1 warrior, 1 guardian, 1 ranger and 2 mesmer with 1hand-swords in this phase.

3. Bug her: We pulled her out and got her to invis and sometimes we only had to put 1 spark into the circles and she got visible again – the problem with this is that it is not very consistent sometimes we only need 1 spark, sometimes we needed 3, sometimes all of them.

In short this was all we tried and don’t have a clue what we are doing wrong or what we are missing. Would appreciate some help =)

Thanks for the answers =)
I see that agony is a big problem for us, since only 1 person got an lvl-20 infused ring and some of our group only have a backpack ( bad looting luck in the daily I guess ).
Hope we can dodge the buff now – in every other fractal we can dodge everything too so I think we can do it now with the new information.

Btw. Wish I could mark more answers as “This Answers My Question” – would mark everyone here as helpful.

We already tried that, the problem is the white shine he sometimes does kills us then, we can’t dodge it or hide somewhere to not get hit so we die.

Hi,

Our group normaly has no problems on this scale with the exception of this fractal.
We don’t have a good strategy for the last boss, we hit him to 75%, hit the seal and then we basicly die. We get stunned, some die to agony because of the circles below you ( you can’t dodge because you are stunned ) and the ones who survive die to the mobs/archdiviner.

I don’t care for the gold cost ( don’t know why everyone in this game seems to be so poor ), but there is just no reason for no condition-damge-backpacks. I already wear the mad memory-thing but it is worse than a condition-damage guildpack

There are no Guild-Backpacks giving Condition-Damage not even as a second stat.
There should be.

There are sigels for nearly all major conditions.
One that it is missing is confusion and I can’t think of a reason there wouldn’t be any.
